State Chairman James F. Torrance was on record today with a prediction the Republican ticket would sweep Pennsylvania in the November election by majorities of more than 500,000 votes. His forecast was based on the comparative balloting in the recent primaries and in the 1938 presidential primary, for the major party candidates. "A total of 920,000 Republican votes was cast on April 23 of this year," Torrance said. "Four years ago, the G.

O. P. high was 794,000. "The Democratic high vote at the 1940 primary was approximately 750,000. This is 170,000 votes fewer than were polled on the Republican ticket These figures spell defeat for the Democrats in November.

Republicans are confident their plurality then will be in excess of 500, 000." Pointing to a 400,000 vote gap between the Republican high vote last week and that cast for President Roosevelt, which was 200,000 behind the total for the three Democratic aspirants for the V. S. senatorial nomination, Torrance safd "this situation should be an interesting study for third term advocates." Goal of the State G. O. P.

organization the next six months will be doubling of its present 500,000 lead over the Democrats in voters' registrations, Torrance said. The Republican campaign "will be carried on aggressively" throughout the State during the interval, the chairman said, by the party's three State wide office nominees: Jay ftv i i i if finest right. right TODAY AND TOMORROW and WEDNESDAY a tilikritil Null REBECCA" itcrriif UURENCI iOH OLIVIER FONTAINE Mtmi tillrilrlliM SUNDAY SHOWS START At 2, 4:10, 6:30 and 9 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday At 1:30, 4.00, 6:30 and 9 TODAY AND TOMORROW ADDED MUSICAL NOVELTY and CONQUERING THE UNIVERSE CHAPTER NO. 1 I Among the 109 true bills included in the second and final report of the June Grand Jury submitted to Judge John S.
